Hundreds help on United Way Day of Caring

Jon Steinman of Deconstructing Dinner visited Oak Street Garden with local food activist and teacher Andrew McCann. Main Street Market has been helping establish Kingston's largest and fastest-growing community garden at this site which the City has committed to food production. Jon comments on his site "Many forms of urban agriculture have existed for thousands of years. City dwellers growing food in backyards or on windowsills are essentially farming in the city. As practical and environmentally responsible as growing food within a city can be, the art of gardening has seemingly disappeared in many urban settings. As current farming practices are proving to be unsustainable in the long-term, urban agriculture is looked upon by many as being a critical shift that needs to take place if we are to ensure a level of food security in the near and distant future." Contributing to expanding urban agriculture in Kingston, Main Street Market practices food production with the level of attentiveness demanded by gardening. Yet, on our decentralized urban farm, our practices are informed by all forms of farming. Contact us and come visit sometime–there are many ways to get involved.
